• Can FFMPEG be used to change the transparency of a single PNG ?

  19 juillet 2020, par Chameleon

  I know that FFMPEG can manipulate transparency using fade in/fade out over a series of frames. I just haven't found a way to generate a png with a specified transparency setting.

  


  I am in the process of creating a lot (20 in first set) of procedurally-generated videos. Each video requires several starts and stops, where with each stop, a png overlay describing what is seen will be displayed for several (actual number TBD, and may vary) frames. I'd like each overlay to fade in over x frames, display for y frames at full opacity and then fade out over y frames. The documentation on FFMPEG really sucks at explaining fade effects, and no one I've found showing usage actually explains what all of the parameters do.

  


  The original sources for the videos are CGI png frames with a transparent background. I will be making the descriptive overlays with transparent backgrounds (same resolution as the CGI frames) - I'm really hoping to not have to manually save each overlay (8 overlays per video at a minimum) with 4 to 6 (or more) transparency settings - The company is being real indecisive as to the length of the fade in/out or the "hang time" of the descriptive overlays.

  


  I have already created a Python script that uses FFMPEG to place overlays on specific frames, then uses FFMPEG to stitch all frames into a single video, adds a background to the video and then places the company's watermark on the video. It already manages the key frames and what images should be overlaid (and for how many frames). It is working well, but the company doesn't like the lack of fade. I already have the framework in place to manage the fade in/out duration (I'm just missing the answer to this question). I created the script because I have no doubt that I'll have to generate the final output on the first couple of videos a number of times to appease the stakeholders.

  


  I'm really hoping to find a fairly easy way to hand FFMPEG a png with a transparent background and have FFMPEG hand me a copy of the image whose non-transparent part is now "x percent" transparent (or "y percent" opaque). I know from failed attempts that FFMPEG doesn't choke trying to make a region more than 100% transparent.

  


  It's a real pain to get approval to install new software on the workstation, so I'm not actually interested in any suggestion that doesn't use FFMPEG or a pretty vanilla Python installation. - It's not that the other software might not be useful, it just means that if other software is needed, I'll have to manually create the frames.

• ffmpeg replacing audio track with track from another video but different length (sync audio)

  27 août 2019, par Matt

  Background

  I have digitized some old Canon Video8 tapes. I used a SONY Digital8 camera (which is backwards compatible with Video8) to output DV (using it’s inbuilt ADC). The conversion process worked well for the video but the audio came through jumpy/distorted in places. This left me with a problem, was it the Camera or the tape ? So I bought another Samsung Video8 camera (just analog) and using the SONY’s passthrough feature output from the Samsung (Composite & mono audio) into the SONY which output the DV. Much to my delight it worked ! The audio was clear.

  Result

  DV01.avi - Good Video / Crap Audio
  
  DV02.avi - Crap Video / Good Audio

  Ok so obviously what I would like to do is take the video track from DV01 and the audio track from DV02 and join/mux ? them WITHOUT re-encoding.

  Problem 1 : They have different start times so just copying over the audio track will result it not being in sync.

  After some googling I found you can use ffmpeg to take care of this :

  Firstly here is the Video info using : ffmpeg -i DV01.avi

  Input #0, avi, from 'DV01.avi':
  
    Duration: 02:53:06.68, start: 0.000000, bitrate: 28878 kb/s
  
      Stream #0:0: Video: dvvideo, yuv420p, 720x576 [SAR 16:15 DAR 4:3], 25000 kb/s, 25 fps, 25 tbr, 25 tbn, 25 tbc
  
      Stream #0:1: Audio: pcm_s16le, 32000 Hz, stereo, s16, 1024 kb/s
  
      Stream #0:2: Audio: pcm_s16le, 32000 Hz, stereo, s16, 1024 kb/s

  Muxing :

  ffmpeg -itsoffset 4 -i DV01.avi -i DV02.avi -map 0:v -map 1:a -c copy output.avi

  In the example above I am delaying the start of the video 4 seconds (I think ?) This is just an example I haven’t actually tried it as the file sizes are 40Gb !

  So my QUESTION is :

  Given the background above what would be the best way to join/mux the two streams together (without re-encoding) with the audio being in sync. Given that syncing the audio to the video may need millisecond tweaking I don’t believe trial and error is a good idea (I don’t want to tweak it by 10ms then rinse and repeat for a 40Gb file) ?

  I just had a thought, could I say create a 10 second clip (from the start) of each video and use them to find the reference/sync start point then use that when muxing the 40Gb versions ?

  Anyway, you get the idea. Looking for ways to solve this problem. Thanks !
